Safety
Build a safety-first robotics culture.
Safety is the foundation of every successful FRC team: a value woven through build season, travel, and competition that keeps students, mentors, volunteers, and spectators injury-free. This branch covers the official FIRST Robotics Competition & FIRST Tech Challenge Safety Manual requirements — PPE, shop and tool safety, machine guarding, sealed-lead-acid and lithium-ion battery handling, pneumatics and electrical safety — plus the enforced event and pit rules from the Game Manual, and the people and programs that drive a safety culture: the Student Safety Captain, the Safety All Star, the UL Solutions Safety Managers, and the Safety Animation Award. You will learn not just the rules, but how to lead a team that genuinely lives them.
